@bzmazu I am just saying I prefer the alpha-tocopherol heavy variety as it favors the anti-estrogen effects of vitamin E. Gamma tocopherol seems to affect mostly NO and LOX, which are also good aspects. So, I personally prefer mixed tocopherols with more alpha because the focus will be on estrogen blockade while also getting the anti-NO and LOX inhibition effects. High-gamma mixed tocopherols tend to have mostly anti-inflammatory effects but much less of pro-progesterone and anti-estrogen effects.

I've been using Kuinone(1-2 drops) with Vit D(6000IU) and Im considering to add Retinyl Acetate in this mix. but I saw the post that says VitA can negate the effects of VitD. Do I have to take it separately?

Actually they synergize with each other. The opposition effect is more of a fearmongering than based on facts.

Do you think eating a few carrot salads a week and occasional sweet potatoes is enough beta carotene for the carcinogen effect in smokers? Or is this mainly with supplementation?

The studies that found carcinogenic effect were all with supplemental beta carotene and I think a few carrots salads and sweet potatoes will not come close to the amounts ingested as pills by those people in the studies. Even a small dose of vitamin E (50 - 100 IU a few times weekly) provides robust protection from beta carotene side effects.
